Already 300,000 deaths each year are caused by obesity (only smoke kills more people), and the annual cost to the country is around $100 billion 47: Many people blame for the fast food industry, along with sedentary life styles, for the worrying increase The average American now consumes about three hamburgers and four portions of French fries every week That’s 90 grams of fat and 2.250 calories (the average person needs about 2.000 calories a day) A recent survey found that every month 90% of America children eat at least one meal in fast food restaurant 48: Most Americans know that fast food isn’t good for them It is high in calories, fat, salt and sugar Yet fast-food restaurants are part of American life After World War II, higher salaries and productivity, together with

when there are (51) responsibilities to make life difficult If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, (52) he may It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to anything in return In (53) , life is always presenting new things to the child - things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known A child finds pleasure playing in the rain, or in the snow His first visit to the seaside is a marvellous adventure (54) , a child has his pain He is not so free to as he wishes as he thinks older people are: he is continually told not to things, or being punished (55) what he has done wrong His life is therefore not perfectly happy When a young man starts to (56) his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents, but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities He can no longer expect (57) to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but he has to work if he wants to live comfortably If he spends most time playing about in a day he used to as a child, he will be hungry And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison If, however, he works hard, keeps out of troubles and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of seeing himself make steady (58) in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy With old age (59) wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life: they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them, and perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come (60) the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight 51 A little B few C a little 52 A whenever B wherever 53 A short B term 54 A However B But C Therefore D Moreover 55 A because B for C at D by 56 A take 57 A other B another C others D someone 58 A

earn IV Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question (10 points) Paul Bunyan is perhaps America’s best-known folk hero A fictional logger of incredible strength, he was most likely based on an actual nineteenth-century logger Page 6/8 from the northern United States or Canada As a folk hero, he struck a chord with Line Americans on some level, perhaps because he was incredibly strong but also because he (5) was hard-working and capable, ingenious in solving problems, and fun-loving Though there is evidence that Paul Bunyan tales were part of oral tradition in the nineteen century, Paul Bunyan stories did not appear in written form until the early twentieth century Journalist James McGillivray included descriptions of Bunyan in a series of essay entitled “The Round River Drive” which appeared in a number of Midwestern (10) newspapers between 1906 and 1910 However, it was through an extensive advertising campaign that Paul Bunyan moved solidly into print Recognizing the appeal of Paul Bunyan as a figure for his company’s advertising, William Laughead, an advertising executive for the Red River Lumber Company, initiated a campaign that consisted of a series of publications featuring Paul Bunyan For several (15) decades, the company distributed these publications free of charge and made no attempt to obtain a copyright on them In fact, the company vigorously encouraged other writers to make use of Paul Bunyan because it felt that the use of this character enhanced the name recognition of the Red River Lumber Company inasmuch as the name of the folk hero and the name of the company had become interwoven (20) The Bunyan stories published by Red River and further circulated by others were tall tales of gigantic proportions In these tales, Banyan is depicted as a man of superhuman proportions, who is strong, hard-working, entrepreneurial, and innovative In one story, for example, Paul is credited with digging the Great Lakes in order to create a watering hole for his giant ox, Babe In another of these tales, Paul caused an entire (25) winter of blue snow to fall by swearing a blue streak after he injured himself by smashing his thumb with a large hammer A third story in the series describes Paul’s role in establishing the Mississippi River Fascination with Paul Bunyan has continued to grow, and today he is a standard of American folklores The prevalence of Bunyan as a figure of folklore today is evidenced by references to him in countless stories, cartoons, poems, and songs as well as the numerous community festivals and logging competitions featuring Paul Bunyan that can be found throughout the sections of the country where logging has strong tradition 61 The purpose of this passage is to A present the actual feats of a real-life logger B provide an overview of American folktales C describe logging in North America D discuss a “larger than life” folk hero 62 It is NOT stated in the passage that Paul Bunyan is known for his A unusual strength B dedication to work C ingenuity in difficult situations D serious nature 63 The passage states that Paul Bunyan tales first appeared A in oral stories B in advertising C in newspapers D in a series of essays 64 Which of the following CANNOT be inferred about the Red River Lumber Company’s advertising campaign featuring Paul Bunyan? A It endured for quite a time B The company did not protect its ownership of the stories C The campaign did little to enhance the company’s profitability D The company wanted the name Paul Bunyan to be known as widely as possible Page 7/8 65 The pronoun “them” in line 14 refers to A publications B series C decades D writers 66 The word “interwoven” in line 17 could be best replaced by A unfashionable B mixed together C not compatible D too separate 67 Where in the passage does the author discuss a weather phenomenon that Paul Bunyan supposedly caused? A Lines 3-5 B Lines 14-17 C lines 20-23 D Lines 25-29 68 The word “countless” in line 27 could be best replaced by the expression A an overestimated number of B an insubstantial number of C a large number of D a specified number of 69 Which paragraph describes the plots of some of the tales of Paul Bunyan? A The second paragraph B The third paragraph C The fourth paragraph D The fifth paragraph 70 The author’s tone in this passage is A humorous B neutral C sarcastic D pessimistic D WRITING: I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence printed before (5.0 points) 71 Something must be done to help the victims of the earthquake in Mexico Urgent ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… 72 It was careless of you to allow your 16-year-old son to drive your car You should ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………… 73 I shall never lend John any money, no matter what happens Under no ………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………… 74 Someone has suggested abolishing income tax It …………………………………………………………………………………………….………………………….………………………………………… ……………………………………………….…… 75 Thank you for reminding me about the timetable, otherwise I would have missed the last train If…………………… ……………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………….…… II This is a part of a letter that you have received from David, a pen friend from New Zealand In about 100 - 120 words, write a letter to answer his questions (10 points) I cannot decide whether I should go to Vietnam to work after my graduation Can you give me some advice?
